THE HONORABLE DARK KNIGHT

CHAPTER 37 - LUNA'S PENANCE AS LUCIANA'S FRIEND

" The reason I was on that mountain was because I was so shocked after hearing that from the leader of the Land Of Darkness and so frustrated, it was, previously Alice told me the truth about my mother that my mother actually loved me very much even though she only told Alice instead of saying that in front of me directly. After hearing that I was so happy that the fact that my mother didn't hate me just didn't know what to do in front of me. But after I learned of my mother's true identity from the leader of the Land Of Darkness I was so shocked, to the point that I myself was filled with questions. " Said Arthur.

" Did the leader of the organization himself say that to you, Arthur?. " Task Luna.

" No, I myself asked him that, the head of the Academy, I deliberately made a mess in order to meet with one of its members, but I did not expect to meet the leader directly. But from there I thought that this was a great opportunity to dig up information about my family and I ended up asking the leader about it and that was the answer he gave.

At that moment I was filled with questions, why? What happened to me?, why did I become like this? That answer almost drove me crazy. If my mother is not a human what about my sisters, myself, and my brothers? I know you are a pure human being but who among us receives and bequeaths the blood of your mother?. Does anyone else know that the Astheric family is not a pure-blooded noble of man?. Then after that I went straight to a mountain and expressed my emotions by destroying whatever was in front of me while again wondering to myself.

Why, why!!!, why was I born with a family full of mysteries and secrets! Is after this still a secret that this family is hiding!? Why is it that before mom left me she didn't just apologize to me directly?! If He was afraid to destroy me why would He ever be indifferent to me?! He just left without saying a word to me damn it!!. I continued to cast my magic until I did not realize that I had run out of mana and I also did not realize that all the magic I used also had a huge impact on my own body. " Said Arthur while explaining it in detail to Luna.

Then Luna hugged Arthur and calmed him down.

" I didn't expect it just because that one fact gave you a huge impact on your mind. Well, I want to tell you a few things about your family.

Just as Luciana told Alice, she also told me that she loves you so much, and then the other thing you should know is that your father was not that kind of person, he used to be a good human even to steal the heart of your mother who is someone from the race*Angel*. They were both good people until your grandfather betrayed his own family and eventually the people who trusted your parents betrayed them and hated them because of your grandfather.

That's where your father's obsession with restoring his family's good name comes from, he sought out and continued to train his great and talented biological children from childhood and then disposed of his child who had no talent whatsoever from birth either magic or physically. Incidentally at that time you were the least talented even your father called yourself a disabled child or a family disgrace for not being able to do anything unlike your other brothers. Actually, it's not just because of that, because of all the children He has, only you inherit your mother's blood, when you were born he had very high and great expectations of you because you are a Half Human, a human with angelic blood flowing in your body.

But he was very upset after learning that you were born with great blood but no talent and even below average physical ability. If when you were born I didn't come you probably wouldn't be in this world, why? because at that time after your father learned of your condition that was very detrimental to him, he immediately intended to kill you, because I was appointed as one of the strongest people in the kingdom of Lasenburgh by the previous king and although I was an outsider of this kingdom I was granted certain rights and powers as the strongest person, he said, one of the rights is to kill the person who actually committed the crime.

I intended to kill your father but your mother forbade me and protected your father. He only asked me to protect you from your father after he left later. He told me many times that he was very happy to be able to give birth to you and take care of you, but I could not keep my promise with your mother and let yourself be hurt by your father, I'm sorry Arthur. " Said Luna explained longly while shedding her tears.

" It's okay the head of the Academy, I don't bother with that matter, either, I understand maybe you can't do that because there are difficult conditions and you certainly can't because you are separated by a long distance. " Said Arthur.

" I should have taken care of you, I didn't keep my promise to your mother, your mother asked me to be a protector to you Arthur but I didn't even notice you forgive me. " Luna said with regret.

" Arthur, can I ask you a few things?. " Task Luna while wiping her tears.

" Of course, the Head of the Academy. " Say Arthur with a smile.

" All right, then Arthur.... Do you want to stay here? I didn't force you, before I knew you had been living in the Louise's residence because Siegfried, your teacher, forced you to. But I know for a fact that you're starting to feel bad for having lived there for a long time. Actually besides that the reason is because I actually feel lonely living in this big house alone even though I was given a servant by the king for my title gift, I also want to see your growth I want to avenge my mistakes for not taking care of you, and even though it may be too late, I want to be able to watch you grow the way your mother wants you to. How's Arthur do you want to stay here?. " Task Luna with hope.

" Alright the Head of the Academy, but I also want to ask for one thing. Can I call you auntie? . " Reply and ask Arthur.

Then Luna smiled broadly and said, "Of course that is exactly one of the things I want to ask of you, I don't want you to think of me as a stranger I want to think of you as my own niece even though we don't have a blood relationship, you can call me aunt anywhere and anytime even in the Academy even if I don't care what anyone else will say. " Answer Luna with spirit.

After that Luna allowed Arthur to rest longer. But because Arthur injured his body from the inside and out and because He completely ran out of which Arthur fell asleep until He was not present to the Academy the next day.

Luna did not have the heart to wake him up so he still allowed Arthur to rest, until finally Arthur opened his eyes the next afternoon.

Arthur opened his eyes when he saw Luna sitting next to the bed where he had fallen asleep, "You finally woke up Arthur. I'm sorry Arthur I let you skip class today because I want you to completely recover your condition. " Said Luna.

" I see, aunt, it's okay to thank my aunt for taking care of me. " Said Arthur.

" That's not a problem, well then let's have dinner, you haven't eaten anything from yesterday because of fainting. " Take Luna.

" Okay aunt. " Answer Arthur.
